Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Walter started his own independent publishing company.
His first book was written by a brand new,
Critically acclaimed children's author.
The book was elf...
A, uh, fictional story
About an adopted elf named buddy
Who was raised in the North Pole?
Went to New York, ate spaghetti,
Worked in a shiny mailroom,
And eventually saved Christmas.
"First, I traveled through the seven levels
"Of the candy cane forest,
"Past the sea of twirly-swirly gumdrops,
And then, I walked through the Lincoln tunnel."
And as for me, I can't complain.
Buddy comes up to visit from time to time.
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is parson brown
Oh, thank you, Jovie. That's very sweet of you.
You're welcome, papa.
But you can do the job when you're in town
Hey, Suzie.
Come here, little one.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling?
Papa wants to see you.
Though your nose get a little chilling
Buddy...
We'll frolic and play buddy... buddy...
The Eskimo way, walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is parson brown
He'll say, are you married, we'll say no, man
But you can do the job when you in town, brother
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans That we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
I really can't stay
But, baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go 'way
But, baby, it's cold outside
This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
Beautiful, what's your hurry?
And father will be pacing the floor
Listen to that fireplace roar
So, really, I'd better scurry
Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well, maybe just a half a drink more
Put some records on while I pour
The neighbors might think
Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink?
No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break the spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir
Mind if I move in closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense of hurting my pride?
I really can't stay
Baby, don't hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside
I simply must go
But, baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
But, baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been
I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious
Gosh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Oh, your lips look delicious
Well, maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a pleasure before
I've got to get home
But, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb
It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
But don't you see
How can you do this thing to me?
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Think of my lifelong sorrow
